string as byte array c# code example

Example 1: string from byte array c#

var str = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(result);

Example 2: c# class to byte array

// Convert an object to a byte array
private byte[] ObjectToByteArray(Object obj)
{
    if(obj == null)
        return null;

    BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
    MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
    bf.Serialize(ms, obj);

    return ms.ToArray();
}

// Convert a byte array to an Object
private Object ByteArrayToObject(byte[] arrBytes)
{
    MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
    BinaryFormatter binForm = new BinaryFormatter();
    memStream.Write(arrBytes, 0, arrBytes.Length);
    memStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    Object obj = (Object) binForm.Deserialize(memStream);

    return obj;
}

Example 3: c# string to byte[]

using System.Text;
public static byte[] encode(string stringToEncode)
{
  UTF8Encoding utf8 = new UtF8Encoding();
  byte[] bytename = new byte[1024];
bytename = utf8.GetBytes(stringToEncode);
  return bytename;
}
